Racers Show Patriots Pride at NE Motorsports Expo 01/15/2017 As day two of the 29th Annual Northeast Motorsports Expo in Augusta, Maine wound down, many of the competitors, vendors and fans had plans for when they left the Augusta Civic Center - and most of them involved watching the New England Patriots take on the Houston Texans. The Patriots bested the Texans 34-16 in the AFC semi-final playoff game. Some competitors at the show took a little bit of extra pride in the Patriots 2016-2017 season. The most notable example was Timmy Pelotte's V-6

Bentley's Darkest Monster Makes Its U.S. Debut in Boston 01/14/2017 It is a big car with some big numbers. It even has a big name. The Bentley Flying Spur W12 S made its United States debut at this weekend's New England International Auto Show in Boston and everything about it was big...actually, make that massive. Unofficially, the car is referred to as the Spur Speed and it is the fastest four door sedan that Bentley has ever made. It is capable of getting up to 202 miles per hour thanks to a 626 horsepower W12 powerplant. Yes, W12 means 12 cylinders.

Mercedes-Benz Understands Boston, Cadillac Doesn't, With Auto Show Displays 01/14/2017 When it comes to marketing luxury cars to Boston buyers, Mercedes-Benz threw for a touchdown at the New England International Auto Show in Boston this weekend, while Cadillac dropped the ball completely. Both carmakers featured large city murals as part of their display area. The Cadillac display cleared showed sights from New York City. While this is likely a generic display that travels the country with Cadillac, it was a bit of a faux pas when you factor in that Boston and New York City

Chevrolet SS Reaches the End of the Road 01/13/2017 One of America's most underappreciated, and fun, cars on the market will be no more before too long. According to several media reports this week, the Chevrolet SS will be discontinued. Currently, the car is still listed as a 2017 model on the Chevrolet website, but there is no guarantee that it will survive throughout the entire model year.

Nissan Promotes Commercial Vans at Boston Auto Show 01/13/2017 When you think of Nissan, generally a sports car like the GTR, a sedan like the Altima or a SUV like the Rogue comes to mind. While all three of those vehicles are on display this weekend at the New England International Auto Show in Boston, there is also another major part of the brand's display - and it is a segment that the Japanese carmarker has not traditionally been involved in. That segment is commercial vans. Nissan has three such vehicles on display at the Boston show. The NV Cargo

Maine's Wyatt Alexander Turns First ARCA Laps at Daytona 01/13/2017 It wasn't announced and it probably wasn't even planned out very far in advance, but a young Maine driver got the chance to take part in the afternoon session of Friday's ARCA Racing Series test at Daytona International Speedway (FL). Wyatt Alexander, a high school student from Ellsworth, turned a few laps in the #34 Ford fielded by Mullins Racing of Virginia. Alexander's best lap of 50.612 seconds at 177.823 may have only placed him 46th of the 50 drivers who took part in the session, but it
